Full Mission Profile – EOD Operation
This FMP has been posted one other time. If you did it last time, take a look at your numbers to see if you’ve made improvement.
Rucksack weight has been reduced from 50lbs to 35lbs.
Timeline has remained the same, but a E&E plan has been added if you go over.
OPERATION: “Mending Bridges”
Situation:
It is widely known that Taliban cells have aggressively targeted NATO and US Military travel routes with improvised explosive devices (IEDs). In general, due to the armored equipment now in use, damages have been minimized. As a result, Taliban forces have sought out larger targets to disrupt the flow of transportation.
Due to a heightened awareness of the enemy’s intentions to cause breakdowns in movement, Military intelligence has been watching closely for any indications of activity. As of 2230 last night, that increase in alertness paid off.
Taliban forces have rigged an important bridge with an unknown amount of explosives, and what is though to be a pressure sensor in the middle of the bridge to function as a detonator. There may be other detonation sources. A precursory look at the explosive chain shows that it is fairly rudimentary and can be safely removed.
The entire area around the bridge is secure.
Objective:
Make safe and remove explosives. Once explosives are removed, safely blow all ordinance.
Insertion:
EOD team will free fall into area and proceed to bridge on foot under heavy packs. At approximately 2 kilometers from bridge, team will transition to diving equipment and swim remaining distance to bridge.
Actions at the Objective:
Once at the base of the bridge, and still underwater, inspect and remove charges. Once all charges are removed underwater, team will transition to harness and climbing equipment and ascend bridge from bottom to top, removing charges along the way.
Extraction:
Upon reaching the top of the bridge, team will radio for helo pick up. All explosives, including chain and detonator will be safely disposed of approximately 1 kilometer from bridge, where helo will rendezvous with team.
Timeline:
Although the area is secure, this is enemy territory. Once the actions at the objective have begun, the entire operation should not exceed 35 minutes.
E&E Plan
If you miss the helo you’ll have to ruck back to the bridge and swim back to an alternate pickup location.

OPERATION: FINAL SUNSET
OPERATION: VBSS Final Sunset
Situation:
While the US and NATO efforts have severely improved the living conditions in Iraq for the general population, there are still cells that remain well armed and determined to undermine efforts to restore peace. It is widely known that they are receiving their financial and arms backing from outside the country. A main tactical strategy in finishing the work in Iraq is to disrupt the shipments of arms and supplies to insurgent groups.
Intelligence sources report that the Yemeni cargo ship ‘Setting Sun’ is being loaded with supplies and weapons in the port city of Mukala, Yemen. The destination of for the off load of the cargo is suspected to be Bushehr, Iran, where it will most likely be smuggled into Iraq to resupply insurgent groups.
MISSION*
Objective:
After Seting Sun leaves the port of Mukala, Yemen, board and take control of ship. Search and record all cargo on ship. Make radio contact with higher authority and await further instructions.
Insertion:
Upon report of target ships movement, SWCC fast boat will move into position to intercept. Seas are expected to be rough, and speed is of the essence.
Actions at the Objective:
SEAL and SWCC team will board via caving ladders and take over ship. Resistance is expected from crew. Once ship is under control, radio US Destroyer to rendezvous and deploy EOD team to assist in searching and recording all cargo.
Rules of Engagement:
All crew are to be treated as Tangos until they are handed over to proper authorities.
Timeline:
Insertion timeline will be determined by the target’s movement. As much as is possible, insertion will be done under the cover of darkness. Actions at the objective must be fast and furious. The keys to success are:
SPEED – SURPRISE – VIOLENCE OF ACTION.
FMP Workout
Insertion
4 rounds of:
Actions at the Objective:
5 Rounds of:
- 5 Commando Pull Ups Right Side (or substitute 10 Pull Ups)
- 5 Commando Pull Ups Left Side (or substitute 10 Pull Ups)
- 10 Burpees
- Run 400 Meters
Notes:
As noted in the Mission Timeline, Speed, Surprise, and Violence of Action are required for mission success. In the workout this means that you cannot take a break to catch your breath. You are moving through a large ship that seems more like a maze of catacombs where one mistep could mean you missing a cue, which could cost you your life.
